Ever since 1965 when our founder, Peter Boizot, opened our first restaurant in Soho, the same PizzaExpress values of great food, evocative music, and distinctive design have remained in our DNA. This is one recipe we’ve never changed, and today we take the same pride in offering great hospitality and unforgettable experiences.

A passion for music

The ingredients for a great dining out experience? Delicious food, friendly people and, crucially, great atmosphere. It’s an approach we’ve kept on our menu since our founder’s passion for jazz put it there.

Iconic design

Peter was a lover of the arts, and wanted customers to have a great experience when they visited PizzaExpress. So he quickly brought his friend and Italian designer, Enzo Apicella, into the fold to visually bring them to life.

We like to create great experiences as much as we enjoy making fantastic pizzas. We trace our love of a good party back to our founder – Peter was a great host. His ‘party spirit’ lives on today at PizzaExpress, with a variety of fun celebrations you can enjoy.
